My Garden

For Mother's Day my kiddos and my sweet Tino made me a garden bed. I'm really a country girl at heart. I have planted lettuce, sunflowers, sweet basil, and cilantro. All of these have been from seed and I also bought some peppers but they are not doing so good. See my compost piles in the back? The big girls were in charge of spreading out the soil.



It was fun for the babies too, Tino showed them how to use garden tools.






Isaac helped Tino put up the fence around my garden. It was supposed to keep the dog out but he would just jump it. After a couple of spankings our dog stopped jumping in.




Since this is "my" garden I bought the kids a little pot they could plant their "own" plant in. So they all decided to plant sunflowers. Lexy still hasn't found the perfect plant to plant in her pot. She's such a perfectionist, sometimes like this time, it drives me NUTS!!!




So I finally had a chance to plant my seeds, tomorrow, I'll post pictures of the garden now.
